Manitou extends Easy line with MT732 and MT1840

Manitou has extended its Easy machine options to cover machines up to and including the 18m class MT1840. The company said that the move follows the introduction of an Easy version of its very popular MT625H compact telescopic handler. Manitou’s new MT732 to MT1840 Easy telehandlers meet the Stage IIIB emissions requirements by using a 55.4kW Deutz TD36L engine with a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC). Importantly, this engine does not require a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) or the use of a Diesel Exhaust

Manitou’s new Easy models offer a wide range of capabilities

2106 Manitou has extended its Easy machine options to cover machines up to and including the 18m class MT1840. The company said that the move follows the introduction of an Easy version of its very popular MT625H compact telescopic handler.

Manitou’s new MT732 to MT1840 Easy telehandlers meet the Stage IIIB emissions requirements by using a 55.4kW Deutz TD36L engine with a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC). Importantly, this engine does not require a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) or the use of a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) such as AdBlue.

The company said that fitting a smaller, less complicated power unit results in a more competitively priced unit and reduces maintenance costs. It also results in a wider choice of disposal options as a used Easy model can be sold into unregulated markets.

The new MT732 to MT1840 Easy machines provide the same load charts and front-end hydraulic performance as the previous 75kW models with Perkins engines. Maximum travel speed on the Easy models is 25km/h.

The extended Easy range includes a new MT1030 – a stabiliser equipped machine that has a maximum capacity of 3,000kg and a maximum lift height of 9.98m.

For applications requiring more power and heavy-duty bucket use, buyers can still select the higher rated Perkins powered MT1135, MT1335, MT1440 and MT1840 machines as an alternative to their Deutz-powered Easy equivalents.

The MT732 to MT1840 Easy models feature a new style opening bonnet and a new fan management system that achieves their engine operating temperature more quickly from a cold start. The use of the fuel-efficient 55.4kW Deutz engine reduces noise levels – down from 106dB to 103dB externally and from 82dB to 78dB in-cab.

The new MT1135 and MT1335 Easy machines benefit from a tighter turning radius - down from 3.85m to 3.65m - due to an axle modification. The MT1440 and MT1840 Easy models gain a smoother and more powerful steering system and the latest Easy telehandlers come with Manitou’s improved EN15000 compliant Active Load Regulation system.
